I have a sadness shield; it keeps out all the sadness and it's big enough for all of us

from Standing Still Fast by Trunks & Tales

lyrics

Resurrect the rain because I cannot be saved. The sound echoes off my hips from my lips just like a passing train. No reason to sleep; no reason to wake. And I hope I never say, “things were simpler back then,” cause most of these days I can barely stand. Consecrate the days; the time spent in our own heads. We are not the same, they’re all foolish patriots, at best. For all the nights I’ve stayed awake, I still sleep most of the days. When I say I’m not afraid, that’s all I really ever had to say. And I could never be your savior, and I will never be a saint. Most days, I can barely stand this place. Why would you ever ask me to stay? And I guess they ever needed us, they were stronger on their own. I’m sure they’ll all be tired and sore too by the time that they find a home. And I guess we never made a difference, just sitting talking to ourselves. I will never fool myself to think I ever made a single god-damned person proud. Cause I spent all of my best years searching for my best years, hiding from my worst fears. How did I end up here? Now I’d gladly take the wasted days and wash them all out with the waves, spill the blood out from my veins cause I’ve never felt so safe.
